I know what you mean about my choice. Over the years I have heard so much Motown that I tend to seek out the album tracks or less well known singles. I rarely buy a Motown CD these days because they are almost always full of the usual suspects. The only exceptions of late being the Cellarful Of Motown series and the excellent Complete Motown Singles Collection series, the latter being quite expensive at about £80 a throw and now only 3 sets from it's conclusion. Oh! I also like E.L.P. (for what it's worth!)

In no particular order, and the content is liable to change on a whim! Marvelettes - The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game Jimmy Ruffin - Everybody Needs Love Undisputed Truth - Smiling Faces (Sometimes) Temptations - Girl (Why'd You Wanna Make Me Blue?) Isley Bros - I Guess I'll Always Love You Brenda Holloway - Can't Hold The Feeling Back Carolyn Crawford - Until You Came Along Eddie Holland - I Like Everything About You (Acetate) Temptations - Papa Was A Rolling Stone Four Tops - Love Feels Like Fire Four Tops - Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over) Plus, well! Take your pick. It's a pity I can't PM you as you are a Registered User. Mods! Please tell me how I can contact this fella, promise I'll not abuse him!

R.I.P. And thank you.

Can't say that, in all my years, I've heard that one! Did you mean the Jackson 5? Or a different song title? Now you are on my wavelength! Tamla, Motown, Gordy, Soul, all released their own imprints and, indeed, did merge into one main label. At the same time Tamla Motown (the UK imprint) aligned with European Motown releases for a new record numbering system. Later the company was sold to MCA and then Polygram. By then, for me, the magic had long gone! The company is now owned by Universal

Agreed, I'd tend to be more worried about the dog than the fella's weight, even then though, should someone having a pit bull type dog prevent them being a parent? I'm not sure on the legalities of these type of dogs so it's hard to formulate an opinion.

If you are thinking of buying a cheap turntable why not take a look at these. Some have an output to go straight into an amp in addition to attaching to your PC. Just a thought of killing two birds with one . . .

God bless you, you Welsh Wizard! Maybe he's forgotten to take those big heavy army boots off and they're slowing him down a little?

Maybe a better prospect than all these feckin' cowboys we have in charge at the moment? :smt063

There is light at the end of the tunnel. It's the 'Admin Express' train coming this way.

Lose. Hope I'm wrong.

If we go into Administration then any investors will not be knocking on Lowe's door as he then will have no control over the decision making. They will need to make offers to the Administrators.Although I do think that RL has this end all nicely stitched up with a backer waiting in the wings. RL has done more than his fair share of making this club look ridiculous.

Would you be able to rise to the occasion then? I'd find it most off putting.

No joke, maybe even the thin end of the wedge, look here.

No! I am hearing that 27 stores are to close.

Maybe that's why they all seem raving mad in the boardroom?

Just a little light hearted note How can you Mortgage Angel Islington if you don't own it (because you never land on it to be able to buy it) Nobody likes a smartarrrs!

I see what you mean but the OP was venturing a value on the shares 'if we go into administration', which was what prompted my query. This is getting very depressing.

No.

Aren't the shares worth diddley squat when we go into Administration?

If AC wants out, as suggested by more than one poster here, why has he not done so? Does RL have a hold over him via legal agreements or other? Maybe he can't find a buyer for his (AC) shares? Although I understand some 100,000 changed hands recently!

Now you lot out there are not a bad bunch but I'm really surprised by the self centred attitudes of those who will not see that people are losing their jobs through this. Just, for a few seconds in your hectic lives, stop and think about the people who were a one income family and are now a no income family. That probably they will need to claim benefits until they can find employment. Cue the 'bl00dy scroungers' comments now!

Now why doesn't that surprise me at all?

What interested me is the mention of Ron Noades QUOTE- My predecessor at Palace - if you don't count Mark Goldberg, and it's best that way - was Ron Noades. He ran this club as a business. He drove into Palace with limited means and drove out 17 years later with £20m, two golf courses and the freehold of Selhurst Park. He ran the club exceptionally well - Palace's most successful era, with cup finals and fabulous league performances - but because of the divided agenda, the conflict between profit, stability and ambition, the club was held back from hitting the next level. END QUOTE Does any of that ring a bell? Well, we've had a Cup Final!

Does that then mean that we can't even really cope with teams which play football? Apart from the odd one or two wins.

Never took you for being a basted!
